Too add to my list if we are talking rolling stock:
F70FBr coachesWhat is an F70 FBr?
A rerun of GGD head end cars and maybe the D78 dinerAgreed!
I think he means a P70fbR (letters the way the Pennsy did it). It was one of the many rebuilds of the P70 done from 1948 to 1951, and a fairly successful one at that due to new trucks and interior. Some had the clerestory roof, some didn't. All pictures of it I have seen had the original window arrangement. This could be an easy car for GGD to do since I think only the trucks need to be changed to give it the look.
The head end cars I would like to see is the re-issue of Weaver's B60b baggage. Who has this tooling?
The P70far (Thanks for the correction Ron) was different that the as built P70 in a few significant ways.
The restooms were all placed at one end of the car and enlarged. the last set of windows was modified to blank one window and put the porthole window in the opening closest to the vestibules.
The doors at the vestibules had modernized single lite windows.
The equipment layout under the car changed.
The classic 2D-P5 trucks got changed to GSC style C41 streamlined trucks.
Most received arched tops.
Those of us who rode P70's in the 60's or 70's and very early 80's in my case probably rode in this variant.
